RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE -CALM LIKE A BOMB *BAR BREAKING REACTION*

[@Supabasic13]

I'm so glad people are rediscovering RATM. They are so important for these times

[@coryobrien922]

I agree. Have you listened to Profits of Rage?

[@Supabasic13]

Yeah I saw them actually at the at saint Augustine amphitheatre in Florida it was awesome

“AND THE RIOT BE THE RHYME OF THE UNHEARD”

[@echoct506]

A riot as the voice of the unheard is an MLK quote too. Not one either of the parties would tell you.

[@frederickmueller8687]

@@echoct506 I literally use that quote all the time. You can rebuild a building, you can replace property, you can’t un-kill people.

[@Michael15_25]

My absolute favorite Rage song. As a descendant of working southern Mexicans, that Zapata’s gun line always hits me. Emiliano Zapata tried to fight against the corrupt Mexican government but was thwarted by that government with help from their friends from the north. And look at Mexico now….

[@brandonmadsen9591]

The lower "whaaaaaw" sound is coming from Tim Commerford on bass. The higher sound is coming from Tom Morello on the guitar.

[@AntonioMartinez-pw9wz]

It's dope that my black brethren are discovering RATM now, especially given the times of racial injustice we're all fighting. Big ups!

[@remedy9648]

Antonio Martinez it’s the most incredible thing! Finally the message and what needed to change in ‘92 is going to be the reality in 2020! I’m loving living in this moment of history, it can’t stop until all is set right. Peace.

[@mariopantoja8259]

To me....calm like a bomb is RAGE...at their very peak.

[@tidewell]

They included this statement in their album's liner notes - "No samples, keyboards or synthesizers used in the making of this recording" 🎸

[@Jordanmode]

Ok, that’s technically true, but Tom modified his guitar to literally function and play as a theremin for that solo. That’s like attaching a synth to his guitar, only it works by waving your hand around it. I’m just saying.

[@PHYRBRND]

The riot be the rhyme of the unheard ✊🏽

[@jaimeedge2142]

This is one of my favorites. I've been playing it this week at protests. Shit gets me so pumped.

[@microwavedsalad893]

One of Tom Morelos most underrated performances

[@danhays747]

Thank you for doing this one brother! We STILL need without a face

[@daniellemorse107]

Thank you to the person who pointed out that the powerful line "And tha riot be tha rhyme of tha unheard" is actually taken from MLK Jr.'s often-used line, "A riot is the language of the unheard." MLK Jr. is known to have first used this in 1966 but most famously used it in his 1967 "The Other America" speech given at Stanford (a year before his assassination). Zack also references 1966 in "Wake Up" although I don't know if this is a reference to MLK Jr., the height of the Civil Rights movement, or the founding of the Black Panthers (which were founded in '66), or all of the above given that he uses MLK Jr. and Malcolm X as examples in that song. I can only presume Zack changed "language" to "rhyme" for lyrical purposes. Regardless, thank you for your appreciation of RATM. Love your channel and RATM :D

[@HiDefHDMusic]

It's totally the guitar! He uses a pedal called a Whammy, so he can slide the pitch up with his foot, its one of his signature sounds!

[@leeschofield488]

Surely a whammy bar is on the guitar lol.

[@ajagoff]

@@leeschofield488 No, he uses an effects pedal called the Whammy pedal to detune, bend, and otherwise affect the guitar's pitch.

[@JPindanga]

This song has wah pedals on bass also

[@leeschofield488]

@@ajagoff Pretty sure that's a wah pedal. The whammy is attached to the guitar.

[@ajagoff]

@@leeschofield488 A year later and you still think this. I truly hope you're just trolling. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipqVaHajjKljock To get those high pitched sweeps, he uses a whammy pedal, sometimes WITH a whammy bar.

[@aidanjones3470]

One of greatest bands to ever walk this planet

[@armandohuaste1732]

It's is coming from the guitar, watch it live. Tom uses his plug from his guitar to use it some sort of violin haha

[@cricket778]

The members of Rage finding each other makes me believe in Fate. We needed all 4 of them to make this timeless artistry. Great review!

[@jaimeecherivel2927]

The guitar riff in the chorus is simple but just brilliant!

[@Bradley-fx3kc]

Please do sleep now in the fire next!

[@nicholaswojton8258]

Welcome to the fold

[@potandpoliticswithmr.broph1420]

Glad you're doing lyric videos. Rage loses it's entire point if you don't have Zachs words. The rest is amazing musically but it's just there to draw attention to the message and drive it home like a sledgehammer. Thx for the bid Captain. Peace!!

[@shilohivy4590]

Agree

[@rezap5331]

What I like about your reaction is that you try to understand and dissect the lyrics meaning. That is one of the main thing that got me really interested in RATM and rap or hip hop genre overall. I pay attention to Immortal Technique, Talib Kweli, KRS one etc. Meaningful lyrics, story telling, word play etc. I don't really follow rap that talks about ass, hoe and money. I don't get it. Just my personal opinion.

That first "unnn" got me lol.

[@Nickel138]

Can you react to the Ghost of Tom Joad, please?

[@danny2271]

How are you not way more hyped .This song is all the fucking fire.

[@RedTopReactions]

This was my least favorite of all the ones ive reacted to. 4 still havent been released.

[@erikwsince1981]

I rock this song so hard! The guitar and bass together in this are so sonically beautiful and heavy. It’s amazing. It’s like nothing ever heard before.

[@Elezium]

Zack always spits truth, he calls it exactly as it is - and he knows it's not just the US but the whole world...if anything they just get even more relevant with time, which is kinda sad in a way. Some tracks like this one are "sleepers" that take some time and a couple listens, but they didn't release a bad song imho :) "And the riot be the rhyme of the unheard"

[@jimie5320]

Thanks for the reaction. Been a fan of RATM for years but you manage to refresh my view on the lyrics as you break down the bars. Keep up the good work!

[@joedafrog]

It's so awesome and so sad that this song is so relevant decades later

[@joedafrog]

6:33 that is all guitar man. Tom Morello is a bad man. No outside effects. He can do more with a guitar 🎸 than a dj can do with two turn tables

[@sausagefingers2885]

And yes, that yodelling is Tom Morello on the guitar. He could guitar a hole in the universe if he wanted.

[@kebunrevy8281]

the amazing digitech whammy sounds

You can be educated if you search the lyrics to these songs.

[@remedy9648]

Aaron De Jesus Henao yo, I comment constantly that yes, you are gonna be properly educated listening to Rage. It’s how I introduced my kids to reality in the 90’s. They went to school and when we were home and blasting music, singing and jumping to Rage, I’d break down the lyrics and explain why this message was there and they soaked it up, learned to question, opened up their minds....Rage was the best history lessons my kids ever had! Peace.

[@AR-mn3dj]

@@remedy9648 that's amazing, the band helps listeners think for themselves. You can see it in some of the reaction videos.

[@stjohnhelp]

I agree its not as good as some of their tracks but its still great. The thing with Rock, like a lot of music is, much of it is written (especially the best stuff) is written/collated as an album. So some songs picked individually while still great don't work as well in isolation. They're album tracks and help you move through the album with a certain energy as well. Pink Floyd is a classic example of this. Their original albums were actually recorded in a different format so the whole album would be one track and be seamless. It was later cd releases of their albums etc that had the breaks between songs

[@RedTopReactions]

YES YES

[@richardlandrum1966]

Pretty sure "vultures" means european imperialism (which includes USA). In "people of the sun" he references "maya, mexica" (Which would be Mayans and Aztecs, respectively) and then "the vulture came to try and steal your name" Which would be Europe landing in the new continent.

"Hope lies in the smoldering rubble of empires" the lies is not like,, i tell you a lie. Its more a proper use of the word. Think of it like this Hope "is in" the smoldering rubble of empires

[@mattvl73]

think we're talking World Bank and IMF here. this band could not be allowed to exist after 9/11. See the 2001 Clear Channel Memorandum. Im guessing pretty much every lyric by this band would be considered "questionable." "Hope lies in the smouldering rubble of empire." Lines like that ain't gonna fly no more. Plead the 5th, Rage, cuz you can't plead the 1st. Enjoy your Katy Perry and Lil Kim, folks. You will never hear another RATM or Bob Marley.

[@OneYoumark]

Same. I love this song but it doesnt hit like the others.
